11 benefits of strength training for your body and brain
There are many physical and mental benefits to strength training. Lifting weights — particularly with a great personal trainer — can help regulate your blood flow and heart rate, speed up your metabolism, clear up brain fog, and boost your mood.
It may even help your immune system:
"Working out and especially strength training boosts your immune system as it is pumping blood throughout the body, relieving stress and releasing endorphins," Swan explained. "The body often gets sick under times of stress but working out and lifting will help ease that stress."
